Just a word of warning!

Due to the ongoing situation in the middle east, fuel prices are rising! We have already seen a 10p per litre rise on our last delivery! I checked in yesterday with our main supplier and it had gone up another 10p yesterday! They are not quoting prices anymore, the price will be the price on the day!

We will still be doing a comprehensive hand over that you are expected to listen to! and you will be asked to sign to say that you understand your responsibilities as the skipper.

If you're new to boating, some elements can be daunting. Our Boater's Handbook has everything you need to know to safely and enjoyably cruise.
